More Information
Summary:A robotic surgical system includes a robotic arm and a surgical instrument. The surgical instrument is configured to connect with the robotic arm. The surgical instrument includes a shaft assembly, an end effector, and an articulatable section. The shaft assembly projects distally from the robotic arm along a longitudinal axis. The end effector includes an electrode and at least one aperture. The electrode is configured to apply electrosurgical energy to tissue. The end effector has at least one aperture is configured to receive a fluid or a vacuum therethrough for irrigating the tissue or removing debris from the patient. The articulatable section is disposed between the shaft assembly and the end effector. The articulatable section is configured to deflect the end effector between a straight configuration where the end effector extends along the longitudinal axis and an articulated configuration where the end effector is deflected from the longitudinal axis.
